• HP t3720: motherboard and ahci mode

  Hello. I need to install a new SSD, but I can't find the ahci mode in the BIOS (I've already put 0 in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemCurrentControlSetServicesMsahci\\\)

  The motherboard A8M2N-(NodusM3) support ahci mode?

  Thank you.

  Yes, I see that (I do not understand because this chipset does not support the AHCI), but the controller cannot be changed on AHCI, nor a BIOS update that will change.

  If your PC has a disk RAID controller in the BIOS, which can give you slightly better performance on IDE mode so you can run with active RAID.

  AHCI will simply not happen on your model.

• SSD and AHCI mode

  Hello

  I have a HP HDX 18 1080eg laptop with Windows 8 running. Now, I would like to install an SSD to fix up. I heard that before installing Windows to new SSD, I should change the settings in the BIOS to AHCI on my hard drive. Now, my problem is that I can't find it in the BIOS. Where can it be found and may have changed?

  Hello:

  There is no BIOS settings to change the speed controller in the HP consumer notebooks.  Professional laptops there are select this option.

  I looked at the specs of product for your laptop and I see that it is (or can be) with two hard drives.

  So, we need to understand what is the setting of the default disk controller, which is pretty easy to do.

  I can tell you that it is set to AHCI or RAID (since your PC has two hard disks, it might be on the RAID).

  Here's a simple way to check...

  Go to Device Manager, expand the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers section and make a note of the name of speed control.   If the AHCI BIOS of your laptop drive controller value, you will see the name of the variable speed drive listed as an Intel(r) ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller.

  If you don't see this controller to this article name, the BIOS of your laptop is on RAID.

  You can confirm that glancing down the list topics in device in Device Manager and you will arrive on a section of storage controllers. Click to expand, and you will see the Intel (r) Mobile Express Chipset SATA RAID Controller.

  It is my understanding that RAID is roughly the same as AHCI and if you download and install the latest driver Intel RST, that will support the TOPPING of SSD features.

• 15 - p112ne: HP 15-p112ne: port msata and the AHCI mode

  Hello.

  I think to upgrade my laptop HP 15 - p112ne. I want to buy SSDS. So my first question is, if this model has msata port available on the motherboard. And the second question is, why I did not in the BIOS SATA mode selection? Because then I would switch to AHCI mode.

  Thank you.

  Here is the Service Manual:

• TRIM does not not despite the AHCI mode and fsutil behavior query disabledeletenotify to return 0

  Hello

  I recently changed my motherboard to a gigabyte a ASRock x 79 Extreme9.

  After this of course being the new is configured to AHCI mode and update an existing installation of Win 7 x 64 drivers using the DVD provided by ASRock, I used trimcheck - 0.7.exe to check if the trim was working, and he's not. Trim was collaborating with the Gigabyte mobo.

  I made sure also that HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemCurrentControlSetServicesMsahci\\\ and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\IastorV starting value was 0, does not.

  Device Manager shows that my 2 SSD using a SCSI driver, which might be the source of the problem. I tried to update the driver automatically, but Windows kept existing ones, saying that he could not find better.

  No idea what is the problem and how to solve?

  Thank you.

  ASRock has suggested to do a new clean install W7, and it worked.

  Installation on the previous mobo was a unique one partition boot, and the new is a type of 3-partition GPT.

  TRIM was working on the previous mobo, but anyway when re-use of previous installation even with new pilots was not.

  So, it was a problem of Windows, but that appeared to require a clean install to fix.

• Cannot set in AHCI mode for disc SSD NB300

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba NB300 netbook, running Windows 8 Pro 32 bit, very happy with it!
  I have a Corsair 3 112 GB Force SSD drive is installed, and everything seems to work fine!

  Read on the SSDS, I see that a better performance for executing the SSD in AHCI mode.
  So I went to menu configuration of startup and changed compatibility in AHCI mode.
  I actually tried a few times, always with the same result, failure!

  When the system is trying to start I get a message saying that there was a problem and that
  the system is trying to gather information.

  The only solution is to go back in the program installation and handed to the compatibility mode.

  The BIOS is up to date, and I just don't see any way to solve the problem.
  I really want to get best performance with this net book as possible.
  I have a screenshot of the details of Speccy SSD drive, but I don't see a way of fixing?

  If anyone can advise me on how to get mounted AHCI mode and go that I would be really grateful!

  Thank you

  Chris

  Unfortunately on this forum we don t have reports on the use of the DSS on NBs I have NB520 and I would use the SSD for, but so far I didn't find the right.

  As far as I know by default BIOS is set to AHCI mode. What operating system you have installed? The original that you got with your laptop or your own version? Have you installed the s Intel Storage Manager of the Toshiba download page?

  Hello.

  XP and Seven is installed in dual-boot on my laptop and I use EasyBCD to choose which system I want to start.

  To start XP, I need to enable "Compatibility" (Controller SATA in BIOS mode) and seven is "AHCI" must be activated.

  Is there a way for my two OS was started without making changes in the bios?
  Y at - it an update to correct this problem (or alternative)?

  Thank you in advance.

  Yes you can do it but I'm afraid, you must reinstall Windows XP Home edition m.
  Why? Because before beginning to install Windows XP Home edition, you must change it to AHCI mode, launch the installation of Windows XP Home edition and before you start you need to load the SATA driver (via F6 I think).

  Long time ago, we have discussed a lot about this on this forum then use the advanced search anc check options other postings on this subject.

• Windows 7 64 bit and AHCI support on DC7800 convertible minitour?

  Hi guys.

  I have an old HP DC7800 (it actually says DC7900 on the box, but several said firmwares is a dc7800 for some odd reason...) minitour convertible that I use at home, running Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit.

  I put an SSD in this PC and when I went into the BIOS to find AHCI settings it shows only RAID and IDE.

  Now, I read about it in this forum and this guy is that he works with Intel Matrix Storage Manager (RAID drivers), but it was Windows Vista. However, I am on Windows 7.

  What I can find there are simply no drivers for this on Windows 7.

  Anyone have experience with this?

  Would be sweet to get this working...

  Thank you in advance.

  You are the very welcome.

  I did some basic research on SSDS and disk controller settings.

  I installed my first (and only) SSD in a HP Elitebook 6930p who owns the AHCI mode.

  I played with the idea of putting one in my dc7800 as you did and of course I would have had my speed on the RAID controller, but I found some interesting links I posted for your reading pleasure.

  Since you don't have the choice to choose AHCI, you would probably be OK in IDE mode if you find absolutely change the controller and reinstall the OS a real pain.

  http://Forum.crucial.com/T5/solid-state-drives-SSD/is-IDE-or-AHCI-mode-better-for-single-SSDS/TD-p/9352

  Do some research on Google more.  There is a pretty good amount of links out there on this.

  For me, it would be more important to have a mechanical drive, set the RAID SSD RAID that supports native command queuing too, as far as I know.

  An SSD does not turn to find the data as a mechanical drive only.

  Here is an interesting link on the NCQ.

  This error message appears if you want to update a BIOS that is not compatible with your model of laptop.
  Toshiba pilot European page provides the BIOS 2.10Win for this model of laptop.
  If you have used certainly bad BIOS.

  First be sure that the AHCI is enabled in the BIOS.
  In addition, the Intel Storage Manager controls the AHCI so you should integrate the AHCI driver to CD Win XP as described here:

• Why the AHCI mode is disabled in some models of Satellite P200/205?

  Hello.

  My laptop model is Toshiba Satellite P205-S6277 (PSPBGU-00W016B). Chipset Intel 945 PM Express, Intel 82801 GBM (ICH7-M).

  According to the information of the intel.com my laptop processor / chipset are fully compatible with the AHCI mode. But my SATA controller works in IDE compatibility mode and there is no way to enable AHCI SATA mode in the BIOS.

  So I have two questions correlated.

  1. why this AHCI mode is completely disabled by the BIOS? Is it possible to activate this mode in future versions of BIOS?

  2 If this mode is completely disabled by the BIOS in the models of laptop of all PSPBG and PSPB0 then why Intel Matrix Storage Manager (driver that improves the functionality of the AHCI mode) is available at downloads driver recommended for these series of laptop on sites European Canadians, Toshiba and even specially for my Toshiba laptop model on the site?

  I already posted the same question to the site we Toshiba but unanswered for a month.
  Maybe there is someone who is able to answer this question?

  >.. There is no way to enable AHCI SATA mode in the BIOS.
  How you tried to activate it exactly?
  I have Satellite P200 and the two modes are available. I have model laptop but can not imagine that the AMERICAN models, or models even Canadian work on a different path and BIOS must be the same.

  Toshiba service best place where you should ask for help. Call them and ask for explanations. If you are right and the AHCI mode is unavailable, they know why.
  Over the past 3 years I have worked with 4 different laptop models and all have absolutely identical SATA settings.

• Pavilion 15 p204tx: activate the AHCI Mode

  I want to replace the existing hard drive in my laptop with an SSD. While reserching on this subject, I learned that I need to change the SATA Mode from IDE to AHCI Mode. I tried to find this setting in my BIOS, but I wasn't able to find it. I would be grateful if you could help me with this.
  Thank you!

  Hello:

• Satellite L300D-11V: can I run SSD in AHCI mode?

  Hello

  I just installed a SSD and Win7 64 bit on a laptop L300D-11V.

  Anyone know if it is possible to run in AHCI mode as I don't see the option in the BIOS?

  I saw there is a BIOS update but if it is not updated to enable the AHCI I would rather not bother...

  Hello

  I assume that it should be possible to use the SSD with AHCI mode.

  The AHCI means that the SSD or HARD disk would go with SATA performance but for that you need to install the SATA driver first.
  If SATA is set in compatible mode, then a SATA driver is not necessary to install the Windows operating system.
  Simply said;
  -n t need SATA drivers in compatibility mode
  -you need SATA drivers in AHCI mode

  The SATA drivers are part of the Intel Storage Manager and you can download this European driver of Toshiba or Intel page

• Equium P200D how to enable SATA AHCI mode so I can install OSx86

  Hi im trying to install OSx86 on my new laptop Satellite P200D-139 I bought this week.
  I need SATA AHCI mode value. All other pc, I used, I was able to do it in the bios but with this laptop, the bios is so cut off from the option isn't there.
  Does anyone know how to enable AHCI mode so I can get OSx86 to start.

  Thank you
  Mark

  If I'm not mistaken, you get the famous message "still waiting for root device", right?
  Well, I really do not have much experience in the Mac OS, but it appears because of SATA drives and Yes, you're right, AHCI mode works for most of the laptops or desktop computers.

  I think there is no way to activate this option. But you may find help looking for some instructions on osx86project in google.

  Hello

  Thanks for this post.
  It of a normal behavior that HARD drive would go a lot faster using the AHCI SATA mode.
  If the SATA mode would be compatible in the BIOS then your HDD would be much more slowly and it would take more time to access the data on the HARD drive

  Once again... Thanks for this interesting thread and your screenshots!

• Satellite P100: How to activate the AHCI mode?

  As all you know, some laptops P100 series are equipped with a controller Intel 82801GBM SATA natively supports the AHCI and with a Fujitsu HDD which takes in charge the NCQ.

  However, the disc is forced in compatibility mode, and therefore the NCQ is disabled, resulting in a loss of performance (which is certainly necessary that laptop hard drives are generally slower than those of office).

  Unfortunately, there is no option in the BIOS which activates the AHCI mode and no tool like HWUtility that can twist that (although it wouldn't work). As far as I know, newer laptops support AHCI mode and there is also an option in the BIOS to enable it.

  Is it possible to activate the AHCI mode in our laptops beloved and make the most of our hard drives?

  Hello

  Do you think that the AHCI is disabled?
  You can run the Intel Chipset ID utility to determine if the ICH7DH SATA controller is already running in AHCI or not.

  However, I studied a little more on other forums that are a little more specific and find this:
  Activate the AHCI on Intel chipsets, without having to reinstall Windows 2000/XP
